Train Wreck by James Arthur

Genre: Pop

Length: 3:28

“Train Wreck” is about how James Arthur was in an emotionally dark place after The X Factor 2012, and not being able to come out of that place after all his mistakes, being on drugs, saying and doing things which he regrets, this song is a reflection upon those times as his previous self is calling out for help to be rid of the darkness. This song was the catalyst which sparked the creative direction and content of the 2016 album Back From The Edge.

Train Wreck lyrics

Laying in the silence
Waiting for the sirens
Signs, any signs I'm alive still
I don't wanna lose it
But I'm not getting through this
Hey, should I pray?
Should I pray? Yeah
To myself
To a God? To a saviour who can
Unbreak the broken
Unsay these spoken words
Find hope in the hopeless
Pull me out the train wreck
Unburn the ashes
Unchain the reactions
I'm not ready to die not yet
Pull me out the train wreck
Pull me out, pull me out
Pull me out
Pull me out, pull me out
Underneath our bad blood
We've still got a sanctum, home
Still a home, still a home
It's not too late to build it back
'Cause a one-in-a-million chance
Is still a chance, still a chance
And I would take those odds
Unbreak the broken
Unsay these spoken words
Find hope in the hopeless
Pull me out the train wreck
Unburn the ashes
Unchain the reactions
I'm not ready to die, not yet
Pull me out the train wreck
Pull me out, pull me out
Pull me out
Pull me out, pull me out
Pull me out
You can say what you like 'cause see, I would die for you
I'm down on my knees and I need you to be my God
Be my help, be a saviour who can
Unbreak the broken
Unsay these reckless words
Find hope in the hopeless
Pull me out the train wreck
Unburn the ashes
Unchain the reactions
I'm not ready to die, not yet
Pull me out the train wreck
Pull me out, pull me out
Pull me out
Pull me out, pull me out
Pull me out
